Richly colored dark fawn female with much to offer. Nia Fossae merits consideration from even the most discerning breeders to add depth to any serious program. This females fleece is no less than impressive with consistent, well-defined character, coupled with a silky, lustrous hand and noted density, and a good staple length. Nia is well structured with heavy bone and well balanced frame. Lots of color on her black sire's side, Nia could produce just about any color, including gray. She proved herself to be a wonderful mother with plenty of milk for her cria. She gets pregnant easily, and has had no issues with delivery or milk production. Her 2011 cria, Phobos' His Royal Phineness, will be held in our herd as a possible replacement for his sire. He is incredible! We entered his cria fleece at Fiber Fusion NW and he was awarded a 3rd place out of 11. I worked for 5 hours cleaning his fleece but he was still knocked down for vegetation. His histogram came back with an AFD of 15.5! We decided to breed Nia to MaRS Solis Lacus to capitalize on her black genetics. Solis has produced some awesome cria so this pairing should be an award winner, and I think we were right on target! A beautiful bay black female, Nili Fossae, was born on July 8th, up and walking in 15 minutes! This new girl has incredible uniform character to her very bright, fine fleece. She's solid in conformation with a well balanced frame, and her growth has been very consistent. We would gladly keep Nia in our foundation herd but since we strive to consistently offer high quality breeding stock, she on the sales list. Since Nia was left open after the birth of her 2013 cria, 2 complimentary breedings to any Alpacas from MaRS herdsire is included, one or both may be transferred. A very stunning young lady that is sure to bring excitement to a breeding program for years to come.
